Microsoft SharePoint Conference - corporate magician

When asked to be the Corporate Magician in Las Vegas for the Microsoft SharePoint conference - I said.....Let me think about it....YES!

The client was Quest Software who was just fabulous to work with and gain understanding of their product and services that help their partners be ready for 2010. The main annual event for Sharepoint was a sell out crowd of 7000 from all over the world. The photo above was taken by Naru from New Zealand (who wants me to come work for his company in LA in January).

In the end, Quest Software DOUBLED their leads from last year and were thrilled. Special thanks to Chrissy, Mandy and Erin for the pre-meetings and strategy to make this event such a success. After all - look at this crowd....

Funny...I must like to hold my hands up in the air a lot as I look at these pics....

Awards Ceremony Emcee - LIfe Experience Awards

What a great night. As the Master of Ceremonies for the Kettering Health Network Life Experience Awards I had never seen so many people who have been with an organization for so long.

In addition to the all the Presidents awards across the hospital network throughout Dayton Ohio, we gave away two 45 year service award, 101 20 year awards and so many in between as well.

I was also very proud of the fact that we accomplished what I was asked to do. In past years the awards program has taken over 3 hours....seriously. The goal was to spice it up with some very clean fun and laughs but also keep it moving and flowing smoothly. With that said, I went to work. In the end, everyone had a great time and we finished the show in 1 hr 45 mins total. The Kettering Health Network was thrilled.

Special thanks to Carol and her team for an event well done

Boys and Girls Club of America Keynote Speaker

Having been the motivational keynote speaker for the Boys and Girls Club of America on a couple of occasions (and hopefully more) I always personally learn something from each. And this one was no exception while in Atlantic City this week.

It always inspires me when I can meet so many people that have sooo much passion for what they are doing. This region is led by Gene Bailey, just an incredible man who has the vision and passion to further the movement and continue to inspire and enable all young people to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.

They even had two of the children their to sing during the event and I'm not kidding or exaggerating when I say they were FANTASTIC! I got THEIR autographs and if they work on it - they WILL make it.

Thank you for sharing your time with me and again opening up my eyes to the difference you are making and all the potential we all have.
